Wrestler Entrance:
The lights in the EMERGE arena cut completely as the sound of war drums begin to rumble throughout the building’s speaker system. With the building shrouded in darkness, a figure steps out onto the stage holding a flaming torch aloft that casts the stage in flickering orange light. The woman in question is Freja Albrechtson and she carries the torch to the top of the ramp as the curtains part and out walk the hulking figures of Bloodaxe and Ironhammer. They join Freja at the top of the stage, staring stoically at the ring before Freja points to it with her free hand and the men begin their march down the ramp and the lights raise again.
Announcer: “At a combined weight of five hundred and seventy-two pounds, accompanied by their manager Freja Albrechtson; they are Bloodaxe and Ironhammer… THE VANGUARD!”
Reaching the ring, both Bloodaxe and Ironhammer grab the ropes and pull themselves up onto the apron as Freja stops at the bottom of the ramp for an official to throw a damp cloth over the top of the torch she carries. Freja then slides into the ring to join her two colossi, who have both taken one knee in the middle of the ring with their heads bowed. Freja gets to her feet and walks over to stand between her warriors and gives what appears to be a prayer in Swedish as she raises her head to the heaves and her arms out wide. As the utters the final line, the two giants stand and begin to pace as they await the start of the match, Freja exiting the ring to watch from the floor area.
Gimmick/Personality:
Bloodaxe and Ironhammer are stoic and silent, doing little to no talking – they speak practically no English – but are a brutal force in the ring. They allow their manager, Freja, to speak for them both in promo’s and on shows, which explains their alignment, as Freja is definitely a heel and using the two men for her own ends, but as Bloodaxe and Ironhammer don’t speak English, they aren’t always aware that what they are doing is incorrect.

Wrestler Biography:
B’hrian Kjellberg and Bjorn Helmclever both hail from the town of Kiruna, the northernmost town in Sweden, famed for its large deposits of iron ore and subsequent mines which grew around those deposits. Coming from families with roots in the area for almost a thousand years and possibly more, the two men were born into families tied to the iron industry, their grandfather’s working in the mines and their fathers as blacksmiths. Both B’hrian and Bjorn went on to follow in their father’s footsteps, working at the same forge straight from school, which is where they got both their impressive strength but also their firm bond of friendship. The pair shared a love of power lifting, competing in regional strongest man competitions on an amateur level but refused to attempt to go pro because it would take them away from their home. That changed however, when the mysterious Freja Albrechtson convinced them to follow her guidance, making unknown promises that convinced the pair to turn their backs on all they knew to go with her on a journey that would ultimately lead the pair, now known simple as Bloodaxe and Ironhammer, to EMERGE as a professional wrestling team.
